The President and His Critics.

Some of the Presidents enemies are
charging him with plagiarism, because in
his speeches at Indianapolis and Terre
Haute he used facts relating TO the local
history of those places which he evidently
obtained from the American Cyclopedia.
1t is doubtful if the speeches had been pre-
pared to the extent of having been written
out and committed to memory 1t is proba-
bic, however, that the President posted him
self in the history of some of the places he
expected to visit, and that he arranged in
his mind what he intended TO say before
reaching the places at which he was ex-
pected to speak.
He is not charged with appropriating the
thoughts of others It is only alleged that
he freely used facts to be obtained from the
Cyclopedia without giving due credit to that
work. The ofense is not serious one
Facts of the kind that the President appro
priated are being constantly used without
credit, as they are regarded as common
property.
Of course the Republican papers are eager
to get hold of anything with which to at
tack the President, and his Democratic as
well as his Republican enemies were glad
of an excuse TO charge him with plagiarism
They will not do him as much harm as they
will do themselves however The people are
not slow to see that the attacks are inspired
by malice and that great deal is being
made out of very little.
The people believe that the President is
honest, and it will not be an easy matter to
make them think that in depending upon
the Cyclopedia for some facts he had any
idea he was doing anything of questiona-
bic character Indeed, it is extremely prob
able that he did exactly what ne considered
he had right to do. The fact must not be
overlooked that he does not pretend to be an
orator, and that he does not claim to be ac-
quainted with the local history of every
place in the country. The speeches he is
making in his present tour are nothing
more than informal talks, and are meant to
accomplish nothing more than to show the
people that he appreciates their kindness.
Those who charge him with plagiarism will
not hurt him, nor benefit themselves.

An Al Fresco Wedding.

RED Tuesday afternoon at Woodland, Baltimore
county, the residence of the brides father.
The services were read by the Rev. Andrew
Longacre in the open air under oak and
hickory trees of grand proportions. A carpeted
platform of about 30 feet square was laid
for the ceremony in the centre of a noble grove
of forest trees, about 20 yards from
the house, from which there was broad plank
walk carpeted In the centre of this platform
stood an altar made of choicest roses and lilies
of the valley, the uprights and lower portions
being of smilax. In front of the altar were
crimson cushions for the marrying couple to
kneel on. Over the altar, suspended from the
mighty trees by smilax ropes, was the roof of a
cottage Sx10 feet, made of flowers of the bright
est hue. Growing all in large letters were the
words in golden rod flowers, Heavens Blessing

words to stand out with increased distinctness
About this forest wedding platform was a deep
edging of cut flowers and beyond these another

and on the velvety sward were scattered choice
dollhouse plants, and the display was in the
highest degree artistic and effective.

Florida Travel.

The railroads are already arranging for
the Florida travel of the present season.
The indications are that it will be large
The Atlantic Coast Line will run vestibule
cars, and they will be an attraction that will
be appreciated by travellers. 1t is probable
that California drew some of the travel
away from Florida last year, but that State
cannot permanently hurt Florida. 1t is too
distant, and it's attractions are not suffi-
GENTLY great to justify a journey of 5000
miles. People may go to California once,
but they don't want to make the journey a
second time. Florida is comparatively near
to the great centres of population. 1t has a
superb climate, splendid hotels and the best
oranges in the world If man can't be
happy there during the winter months lie
can't be happy anywhere
During the present season the grandest
hotel in the country will be opened to visit
ors in Florida. 1t is at st. Augustine, and
if accounts of it are correct it is well worth
trip from almost any point in the country
to St. Augustine to see it.
Another great attraction i'll Florida will
be the semi-tropical fair. for which great
preparations are being made 1t is not too
much to say that Florida will enjoy an old
time boom this winter

INTERESTING TO THE SLEEPER.

1t is perfectly true that no one ever heard of

adversary. In the natural state. then, natural

Commissioner oberly's Letter.

! Civil Service Commissioner Oberly's let
ter to the Illinois Democratic Association at
Washington is causing him little annoy
ance. His Interpretation of the civil service
! law, with reference TO that and similar as
| sociations, is not entirely satisfactory to the
office-holding Democrats at the capital.
! They think that he is in advance of the law,
and are not disposed TO accept him as an
authority on it.
Mr. Oberly told the Illinois Democratic
, Association that office-holders in Washing
ton have no right TO band together for the
purpose of collecting money for political
purposes, and that they cannot legally in
terfere in the political affairs of any State.
The ground he takes is that when man ac-
cepts an Office in Washington he becomes a
citizen of that place, and has no more right
TO influence the elections in the State from
which he was appointed than a citizen Of
Washington who has no connection with the
public service.
In an interview on Monday Mr. Oberly said
that if Democratic office-holders were permit
ted to form associations to assist their party
in States in which they claim a residence,
thing, and that instead of being non partisan
the civil service would be as partisan as it
was before the civil service law was enacted.
Mr.. Oberly's views of the civil service
law are quite different from those of Com
missioner Edgerton, the Chairman of the
commission, but IL is an open question
whether they will prevail 1t is
not improbable that his letter
to the Illinois Democratic Association Will
cause steps to be taken to define the political
rights of those occupying places in the pub
lie service in Washington. The members
of that association are not disposed to let
the matter rest where his letter left it.
They want to know whether their associa-
ton is a legal one or not. There are other
associations of a similar character, and
they too are interested in having an under
standing about their political rights If
they have no right to help their party in
their respective States they want to know
it, and if they have they desire to exercise
that right.
1t must be admitted that there is con-
siderable force in what Mr. Oberly saws in
his letter. 1t is no doubt the purpose of the
civil service law to relieve the civil service
of partisan influences, and, as he says, put
the service on a business basis That can
hardly be done if associations of office
holders are formed for party service. The
Democrats will unite to help their party.
and the Republicans will follow their ex-
ample. The result will be that appoint
ments will cease to be made for
merit. The associations will keep
alive the partisan spirit in
the service, and the reform which has been
worked for so earnestly will be in danger
Of being defeated. Mr. Oberly's letter is
certainly deserving of careful and candid
consideration. Ii the associations to which
he directs attention threaten injury to civil
service reform they should be discouraged.
The administration cannot afford to take a
step backward or TO manifest Indifference
in the matter of this reform.

Dog of the Regiment.

FROM the LeCiSton Me- journal.
In the way of "reminiscences, Col. Emerson. of
Auburn, tells this story of famous dog that
went to war with the Tenth Maine regiment,
from Portsmouth:
The dog belonged to Nathan Jones, a stable
keeper there, and went out with his master and
came back at the end of the three months He
jumped into the ear occupied by Capt Elmer
sons company, of the Tenth Maine, as it passed
through Portsmouth on its way to the front,
and the men concealed him beneath the seats.
kilograms demanding the dogs release were
received at Boston, at New York and at Bati-

than a telegram to effect his release He served
his time with the Tenth. and came home with
that regiment two years later When the COM
pany reached Portland two men came down
from Portsmouth to reclaim the dog. Two of
our boys took the dog across country to North
Auburn by way of Gray Corner, and he remain
ed at North Auburn till the Twenty -ninth was
organized, when he went TO the front again
with that regiment, with which he met his death
at Sabine Cross Roads. He would get terribly

The Public Building Site

If business men of this city had taken a
little more interest IN selecting a site foI
the new public building before the govern
nent made a choice they would have stood
much better chance of having their wishes
gratrtied in the matter than they do now
The MORNING NEWS made the best fight il
could for the Union Society lot. That loca
ton would have been ever so much more
satisfactory than the present one.
If the government can back ont of the
arrangement it mas made with the owners
of the barracks property, and can get a site
that will meet with the approval of the
people of the city, it ought to do so. The
wishes of the people ought to be consulted
in the matter. They are more deeply i'll
terested in it than the government is. Rep
resentative Norwood, however, if he is re-
ported correctly, does not seem to have
thought So The almost Srnanimous and
rather emphatic way in which the mass
meeting yesterday declined to endorse his
action at Washington, in connection with
the matter, will doubtless convince him
that they have very strong interest in it.

How the Ameer Punished an Alarmist

Some strange stories have been told of the
